Thai Basil Leaves with Shrimp

Here’s a recipe for the famous Thai Basil Shrimp dish you can now make at home without going to an Asian supermarket. This dish will wow your taste buds with a little sweet and spice and, at the same time, give you the distinctive herbal flavor of the basil.

3) Prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, add soy sauce and brown sugar and mix until all the sugar dissolves into the soy sauce. Then add water and red pepper flakes.

4) In a large hot skillet, add vegetable oil and garlic. Sautee garlic for 30 seconds.

5) Add carrot and sautee for 1 minute. Add green bell pepper and sautee for 1 minute. Add white onion and sautee until it is slightly translucent about 2 minutes. Add most of your basil leaves (leave some aside for the end).

6) Add sauce and shrimp.

7) Place lid for 2-3 minutes, so shrimp can cook inside. Finish cooking without lid on.
